"First footage of the Iranian Television "Telewebion" has unveiled the new Iranian-made Karrar MBT (Main Battle Tank) which is full designed and manufactured in Iran. The layout of the Karrar seems to be similar to the Russian made T-90MS but with some specific features. The overall layout of the Iranian-made Karrar MBT seems to be similar to that of the Russian-made T-90MS MBT with the driver's compartment at the front, two-man turret in the centre and engine and transmission at the rear. The driver is seated in the centre of the hull.
According to our first analysis, the front of the turret and each sides of the hull are protected with explosive reactive armour (ERA) while the rear side of the hull and the turret are fitted with wire cage armour…"

At least it doesn't have tires under it, like the Hamas, or Hezbo tank shown a few months back. Looks to me to be heavily and poorly photoshopped too, in the pic above, even on my small monitor. No dust on the side of the turret in the pic, even though there's lots of it elsewhere in the photo. |

From the road wheels, it looks like a T-72 with a reworked turret. |

It also … looks like a target …  |

Interesting turret. It's greatly extended compared to most Soviet/Russian tanks. Also the MG is an interesting looking thing with its placement and sensors (?). The article says it's a remote weapon station. Nice addition. |

There's definitely been digital manipulation of that video clip. You can see the "ghosts" behind the tank at the :02 second mark and again at the very end. You have to wonder if the Revolutionary Guard is comprised solely of 14-year-old computer geeks living in the Ayatollah's basement. |
